第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题;每小题2分.满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

When I was four years old，I broke my elbow. After many weeks in a cast (石膏) I returned to the hospital to finally have it removed. My mother found it strange that I was so enthusiastic about returning to the place where I had experienced so much pain. Yet she soon discovered my fas??cination with the healing process and how doctors helped to enhance it.

I was in fear as the doctor removed my cast and asked me to move my arm，and immediately became scared as the pain came shooting back through my elbow. After another series of X-rays and examinations my arm was put into a new cast I had begun to doubt the reliability of the doctor，and my mother thought I would be unwilling to return a second time.

When the day came to have my cast removed again，I was nervous. Yet I was optimistic enough to trust the doctor as he once again removed my cast and asked me to move my arm. And this time it was better! Nothing hurt!

On the way back home I released (松开) my mother's hand and ran ahead，and out of her sight. She was immedi??ately worried that I would come upon someone dangerous. At the age of four I was already known for liking to talk with strangers that I felt were potential friends. When she caught sight of me again， I was looking up into the face of an old broken-legged man，saying，“Don't worry，sir! The doctor will fix your leg. Look how he fixed my arm！” 

Since then I have continued to be fascinated with the human body and medicine. I also still love to help people，and never miss an opportunity to encourage someone. But most of all，I still believe that optimism and trust are the building blocks of happiness and success. Many things can change，but I am proud to say that these parts of me have always stayed the same.

A. the hospital seemed like a more frightening place   B. the doctor there was unskilled

57.What did the mother fear when the author ran out of her sight on the way back home?

A. That he would break his elbow again.

B. That he would run down others and break their legs

C. That he would lose his way.

D. That he would come upon a dangerous stranger and get hurt.

58.What can we learn about the author from the passage?

A. He is optimistic and enthusiastic.     B. He was hard-working as a young boy.

C. He doesn't like making friends with strangers.

D. He could become anything but a doctor.

59.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

阅读理解: 下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。

　　　　     My husband hasn't stopped laughing about a funny thing that　　 happened to me. It's funny now but it wasn't at the time.

　　     Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I　　 wanted a rest before catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and　　 some chocolate and went into the station coffee-shop——that cheap　　 self-service place with long tables to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep a　　 place, and went to get a cup of coffee.

　　     When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next　　 seat. It was one of those wild-looking youngsters, with dark glasses　　 and torn clothes, and hair colored bright red at the front. Not so　　 unusual these days. What did surprise me was that he'd started to eat　　 my chocolate!

　　     Naturally, I was annoyed. However, to avoid trouble— and really　　 I was rather uneasy about him—I just looked down at the front page of　　 the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy　　 looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate.　　 I could hardly believe it. Still I didn't start an argument (争论).　　 When he took a third piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, "Well, I shall have the last piece." and I got it.

　　     The boy gave me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he　　 shouted out,"This woman's crazy!" Everybody stared. That was　　 embarrassing enough, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face turned red—as red as his hair—when I　　 realized I'd made a mistake. It wasn't my chocolate that I'd been　　 taking. There was mine, unopened, just under my newspaper.
